While researching digital imagery in the classroom, I came across the site that had many different lesson ideas that incorporated digital photography.
One lesson idea I liked in particular was the idea of giving your students only a portion of a digital photo - and as a writing activity, you can use it as a writing prompt - what's happening in the photo? What is missing in the photo? What happened before, during, after the photo was taken, etc. Picture prompts are awesome to use as a writing tool in the classroom. An alternate lesson idea or extension of this would be to have the students go around and take the digital photos and distort them in some way or cut parts of them off. Then they could trade with other students and they would use that as a writing prompt.
You could also take the photos that the students took and have your class try to put them together in some sequential way. It wouldn't have to make sense at first because ideally you would have students taking pictures of completely different things/places. However, you could put all the photos in some sort of order, and as a class you could write a story using those as your pictures.
This topic of digital imagery is so broad - lots of things you can do. I'm excited to learn more!
